Kentucky Proposes Changing Child Support Laws

By Tara N. Brewer

A proposed bill in Kentucky to modify the state’s “outdated” child support laws could lessen a child support payor’s obligations.

Results from a 2008 survey for the state Child Support Guidelines Review Commission suggested that the analysis of parental spending plans are outdated, as the current analysis of parental spending plan is based off of data from 1987.

Proponents of the legislation argue that since 1998 the standard of living has changed, the spending patterns of the average family have changed, and the old analysis doesn’t account for an increase in the number of children.

New Child Support Definitions

Proposed definitions in the amendment include:

Self-employment income includes rent, royalties, proprietorship and joint ownership.

Comments

They need to set limits on arrears and no jail time for men owing child support. They should check to see if the custodial parent is making sure they keep a job as well. 80 percent of men in Kentucky don’t see their children due because of the mother. If a mother denies the father in seeing his child she should not recieve as much money and she should shoe receipts where all monies go and if the child is receiving their money. Further more the mother needs to be accountable for not allowing the child not see the other family. You need to go much further and stop giving women all the control. Make it automatic equal for both or start over.
